Development of the Chardonnet-Baud sector of Rennes, including housing, offices and cultural facilities. Within a perimeter of 35 hectares, this project involves construction of a dense residential sector with a mix of collective housing, tertiary buildings and public and commercial facilities for the city and the new district. The mixed-use strip between the axis of the railway stations and the rail network offers a double thickness of buildings, the majority occupied by offices, housing units and multi-level car parks to the south, across from the tracks, providing filtering from noise.
The mixed development zone project also calls for educational facilities (schools, crèche and parent-run crèche), services (seniors' residence, shops, economic activities) and cultural and athletic facilities (gymnasium, socio-cultural centre, performance tent). These facilities are spread throughout the mixed development zone and will give it life. The construction of an initial university sector in the north will link the new district to Rennes University 1. These different components are connected to each other, thus fashioning the future Chardonnet Baud.
